Background

Has both folate hydrolase and N-acetylated-alpha-linked-acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) activity. Has a preference for tri-alpha-glutamate peptides. In the intestine, required for the uptake of folate. In the brain, modulates excitatory neurotransmission through the hydrolysis of the neuropeptide, N-aceylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), thereby releasing glutamate.

Abbreviation

PSMA; FOLH1

Synonyms

Folate hydrolase 1; Folh1; Folylpoly-gamma-glutamate carboxypeptidase (FGCP) ; Glutamate carboxypeptidase 2; Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) ; Membrane glutamate carboxypeptidase (mGCP) ; N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase I (NAALADase I)
